This is one of the longest fiction books I have read, and it's amazing! My favourite character was Mora, who is a human-like shrew. It interested me from its title, and the blurb. The main summary of the story is that the main character called Olia lives in a magical castle with her family, but when a storm hits threatening to destroy the castle, Olia has to travel to another world to save it. I would definitely recommend this book for anybody looking for adventure books or a plot twist in a story.

This book was a good book to read in the holiday because it was all about family and friends.I thought that Olia was really kind because when she found out the land of forbidden magic’s problems she was determined to help the land.The character I liked best was Olia because she gave up her home and everything she grew up with to help the creatures in the land.

In a world of spirits and magic an ancient castle is being slowly destroyed by a storm of magic trying to break out of an old prison that all magic from that castle is imprisoned.

15 Aug 2022

This might be my favourite book ever! (And I’ve read a lot of books!) I loved the twist near the end and the description used when the characters entered the land of forbidden magic. I liked that the story was written from Olia’s point of view so that all of the lessons that she learned were shared with the reader in the most effective way. I felt a mix of emotions when reading the story, as some parts were very sad while others were very happy.
This exciting adventure story shared the magic of believing with the reader. I loved it and can’t wait to read more of Sophie Anderson’s books.
